Rheinhausen station is located in the Duisburg suburb of Rheinhausen in the Lower Rhine region of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It lies on the Duisburg-Ruhrort–Mönchengladbach railway and is the starting point of the Lower Rhine Railway towards Xanten.
Location
The station is not in central Rheinhausen, but in the suburb of Friemersheim. However, Friemersheim was incorporated into the new city of Rheinhausen in 1934 and has been part of the Duisburg borough of Rheinhausen since 1975.
In front of the station is a shopping mall, which leads to Friemersheim market. The Kruppsee (lake) and its environs is a recreation area next to the line towards Krefeld. Behind the station are extensive residential areas, which are part of central Rheinhausen.
Structure
The now closed station building of 1904 stands on the southern side of the tracks. The station has two island platforms, which are connected by a tunnel, which was extended in 2007 to a new entrance on the northern side of the tracks.
The southern platform gives access to tracks 3 and 4, which are on the lines between Duisburg Hauptbahnhof and Krefeld Hauptbahnhof. Tracks 1 and 2 branch off the line from Duisburg east of the station at a level junction and run to the northern platform, which is used by trains to and from Moers and Xanten.
